Chapter 270
The Jinding Building was in chaos.
First, some monks caused trouble on the eighth floor, and for unknown reasons, people died. The people affected were scared to death and hurriedly fled downwards in a crowd.
The noise they made when they escaped was quite loud, so naturally, the people downstairs soon noticed something was wrong.
Now more people knew that a cultivator had died in the building. Someone started to spread rumors that the demons had invaded. Some people even said that they had seen Yu Xi leading the demons to appear and eat people everywhere, which caused panic.
Just at this moment, the building was filled with an ominous atmosphere, and then the whole building could feel unexplained vibrations. Some people even saw cracks spreading from top to bottom on the wall.
Jinding Tower is under the responsibility of Songshan Sect and Yaotian Sect. If any problems arise, the cultivators of both sides cannot ignore it.
Some monks immediately went up to check the situation, but when they reached the eighth floor, they found that the eighth floor was on fire. However, in the blink of an eye, the fire had spread, and the billowing smoke was filled with poison.
The first few monks who came up were caught off guard and fainted.
The other monks held their breath and used magic to control the fire. Fortunately, the ninth and tenth floors of the Golden Tripod Tower were protected by special barriers, so the fire did not affect them. It only burned the entire eighth floor, leaving a devastating sight.
"How can a fire burn so fast?"
A monk from the Songshan Sect frowned and looked around, and soon found something wrong.
He leaned over, examined the charred ground, and concluded, "Someone has painted a meme here."
Memes are a flammable poison that can quickly spread fire. Once the toxicity produced after burning is inhaled, it will cause anyone to become comatose, including monks.
The Immortal Sect will naturally not allow this kind of poison to circulate outside, and usually only the demons will use it.
Following him were two Yaotian Sect cultivators who couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Are you saying that there really are demons deliberately causing unrest?"
"It's possible, but I didn't detect any demonic energy... and the demons shouldn't have any reason to cause trouble in the Golden Tripod Tower. Even if they were to take action now, their target should be the Immortal Sect Conference."
Although there are some good things in Jinding Tower, there are no important people there.
But there seems to be no other option except the demons.
It can't be done by a mortal, right?
The birth, aging, sickness and death of mortals are like floating things. They don’t even have time to curry favor with monks, so how could they possibly cause trouble in places managed by immortal sects?
"Brother!"
At this moment, a monk near the window suddenly let out a short scream, scaring everyone.
"What a startled look!"
Some people scolded.
But the other party didn't care about being scolded at all, just pointed at the wall and said: "Look up!"
Everyone was startled and looked in the direction he was looking. They saw countless cracks on the wall spreading from above, extending downwards hideously.
When you look out the window, you can see that the ninth and tenth floors, which were originally intact, have a big hole on the side. Looking down from the sky, you can also see that the roof of the Jinding Building has been completely shattered!
The remaining barrier could barely conceal the situation inside the two layers, and all that could be seen from the outside was pitch black.
"How can this be!"
The top two floors of the Golden Tripod Tower were protected by several barriers set up by Immortal Venerable Liuyun himself. How could anyone possibly harm the Golden Tripod Tower within the barriers?
Moreover, although most of the remaining energy in the damaged areas is spiritual energy, one can also faintly feel the demonic and evil spirits.
The monk tried to enter the building through the damaged area, but was blocked by the barrier.
"Contact Chai Cui quickly! Ask him what's going on!"
Chai Cui is in charge of the ninth and tenth floors.
The Sound Gathering Bowl was activated, and they were extremely anxious, but who would have thought that the other side was unexpectedly calm:
"Nothing happened, you don't have to worry about it."
"The roof's gone and you're telling us nothing happened?!"
The other party paused for a moment before continuing, "There were demons trying to break in, but thanks to Immortal Venerable Liuyun's barrier, they were unable to succeed. The damage you saw was only on the surface. There were no casualties inside, and everything is normal."
The cultivators still felt that something was wrong, but Chai Cui was the confidant of Fang Ming, the elder of the Yaotian Sect. Fang Ming valued the Golden Tripod Tower the most, so there was no need to deceive them.
After thinking it over again and again, the monk finally said, "If Daoist Fellow Chai needs help, please contact us. I will go find someone to repair the Golden Tripod Tower first."
After saying that, he turned around and signaled the other cultivators to keep an eye on the entrances and exits of Huanghui City to see if any demons appeared.
Huanghui City is the territory of their immortal sect. Since the demons dare to come and cause trouble, they can forget about leaving.
After arranging things, he quickly turned around and contacted Qing Lian of their Songshan Sect, telling him everything about the appearance of the demons.
After the connection with the Sound Gathering Bowl was cut off, Chai Cui breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zun Jin beside him and said:
"No abnormalities have been discovered so far."
Zun Jin was standing under the completely destroyed roof at this time. There were shattered wood chips and debris everywhere under his feet. He could vaguely see bloodstains and traces of people moving around.
"Who could have done this? Will it affect our plans?"
She couldn't help but think of Yu Xi. After separating from Yu Xi, she disappeared.
"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't have any impact. I don't sense any powerful monks nearby."
Chai Cui didn't expect that an unexpected situation would suddenly occur on the top floor. When the building was shaking, he thought it was his companions who were taking action. When someone realized something was wrong and came up, he saw that the entire roof was gone.
Zun Jin pondered for a moment. She had already led people to a higher level. Now that it had come to this, she couldn't just retreat.
They caused the commotion so that people would have no time to pay attention to the defense of the ninth floor and could come up smoothly.
"Then we must continue with the original plan. All the abducted children must be rescued without exception!"
As she spoke, her subordinates had already prepared to keep warm and came over quickly. Each of them had a sword on his waist that could kill monks, and they were full of murderous intent.
Chai Cui brought them to the door of a room and pushed it open.
The room was ordinary and there was nothing unusual about it.
"I've confirmed that Fang Ming's lackeys hid in this room during the commotion. This should be the teleportation array to the Ghost Realm Frost Land."
Fang Ming is a cautious and suspicious person who will not completely trust anyone. Even though Chai Cui is one of his confidants, he has never told Chai Cui how to get to the cold land of ghosts where the child is hidden.
The one who knew all this was another confidant of Fang Ming, but that confidant was only responsible for helping Fang Ming transport the children and was not allowed to get involved in other matters.
"Then let's not waste time and set off."
Zun Jin made the decision, and her subordinates immediately stepped into the room quickly.
As soon as they entered the door, their figures disappeared instantly.
Chai Cui bowed and retreated. He could not enter the teleportation array and had to guard the tenth floor to prevent other cultivators from approaching.
Otherwise, if anyone finds out something is wrong, including the children, Zun Jin and the others will be in trouble.
"Sir, you only have one hour, please hurry."
He reminded Zun Jin when he entered the teleportation array.
Zun Jin responded and quickly disappeared into the house with the others.
